Pastor Jim Solomon, who counseled the girl's mother in the aftermath of Friday's horrific mass shooting, told ABC News that the unidentified first-grader was the first student to emerge from Sandy Hook after the massacre, her school clothes soaked in her classmates' blood.

"Mommy, I'm okay, but all my friends are dead," the little girl said, according to Solomon.

The girl was the only survivor in a class of 16 people, according to ABC News.

When asked by her parents what she saw, the girl said she saw someone who was "angry" and "very mad," Solomon said.

The little girl's mom --- while relieved that her little girl was spared – was grieving for her friends and suffering from "survivor's guilt," Solomon said.

"So many of her friends no longer have their children, but she has hers," the pastor told ABC News.

According to official accounts of the massacre, Lanza, 20, shot up two first grade classrooms with a .223 caliber Bushmaster assault rifle before turning the gun on himself.
